livid granite
#

do you guys go left or right stairs on priory

sharp gale
#

They really jump on aggro ? I thought it was on ranges

cerulean tusk
#

They do it 15 sec ish in at worst, ain't an issue

lusty grotto
#

right stairs

sharp gale
#

I go left

pallid quiver
livid granite
#

most pugs i guess are programmed into left

cerulean tusk
#

They jump to place caltrops, if ppl are stacked in melee, they go into melee

pallid quiver
#

for some strange, arcane reason

sharp gale
#

(It’s the only dungeon i have a route)

lusty grotto
#

most pugs hate the right mini boss

#

for good reason

#

its ass if it doesn't blow up

#

but it has sweet reflectables

cerulean tusk
#

The smith? I still got nightmares from PTR

lusty grotto
#

uhh im on monster hunter atm

livid granite
#

idd a nightmare lol

lusty grotto
#

the fire all over the place guy

#

with the fireblast slow

sharp gale

sharp gale
#

Fury chat taught me what hdr is

livid granite
sharp gale
#

I turned it off after they showed me how to turn it on

livid granite
lusty grotto
#

i like it, but its weird for when you stream

sharp gale
#

I don’t see the difference, i had to turn way up contrast in wow to be able to be pleasant

lusty grotto
#

well youre not supposed to

sharp gale
#

And in discord stream it was Picasso painting

lusty grotto
#

as in, it should be easy on your own eyes

#

so youre not like OH FUCK FLASHBANGED

#

which is what happens when you stream on twitch or discord

livid granite
#

lol flashbanged

sharp gale
#

Tbh I never played in hdr, games post PS3 are beautiful enough for me I have very low bar

#

one of my fav game is Kenshi

lusty grotto
#

nah monster hunter

sharp gale
#

Show us your mog

lusty grotto
#

its terrible

#

i need to figure out what sets im gonna do etc so im just rocking whatever i used for the last missiosn

It can’t be worst than my char in the end epic cinematic

@shut summit Just looking at some of your keys, I'm seeing you're running ravager over battering ram in push keys?

lusty grotto
sharp gale
#

I THOUGHt you had no pants

lusty grotto
#

lmaooo

devout rivet
#

Its worth replacing the previous 2p with better gear? Talking about +40ilvl difference, I already have 2p / 2p from the new season

lusty grotto
#

i wanna build a flayer + partbreaker set

#

depends on sims

#

my sims said to keep at least 2pc on the slots with lower item budget

#

i.e. shoulders + gloves

#

6/6 myth pieces though

#

so it really depends on what you have

#

sim it out

tacit gorge
#

hey, can any1 tell me the big diff between thane and colossus in m+? is one tankier then the other? or similar?

lusty grotto
#

similar

young wasp
#

colussus is burstier with stack management. thane is spam thunderclap

lusty grotto
#

colossus is just a a lot more damage

#

colossus has no stack management

wicked pollen
#

colo requires rage to press revenge to keep ip up

#

mr nim

#

how have you been

lusty grotto
#

ive been good

#

how about you

wicked pollen
#

ive been come a decent prot player

lusty grotto
#

nice!

wicked pollen
#

only know how to dps

#

not gather

lusty grotto
#

yeah well play big tc

#

it'll help

wicked pollen
#

big tc sucks balls over more rage

#

but yeah

lusty grotto
#

just swap fear/intervene/stormbolt for it

wicked pollen
#

what do you think i could drop to get demo shout cdr

lusty grotto
#

i dont recommend it

#

you want it to align with troar

wicked pollen
#

i want it to have it up for each demolish window

#

😦

lusty grotto
#

it kind of aligns

#

45s 45s

wicked pollen
#

have to ysually delay 3-7 seconds but yeah

lusty grotto
#

if you play cdr, it wont align

#

yup

wicked pollen
#

nah demolish just never aligns

lusty grotto
#

by big tc i meant crackling thunder

#

not thunderlord

wicked pollen
#

yaya

#

either way colo is fun

#

just wish it didnt get nerfed from before

#

we would probably be doing 15-20% more damage

sharp gale
#

But only did 2 10s with my warrior for now so it didn’t kill me after wasting my def cd

wicked pollen
#

i do that too but not having demo roar for demolish feels so bad

sharp gale
#

Like WDYM I lose aggro on that little mf in the middle of the death zone where im throwing 6m dps

livid granite
rocky crest
#

does anyone wanna share logs from high keys as demo ?

#

also colossus does feel more " squishy" or maybe it's my lack of intelligence to play it properly -_-

unborn dragon
#

You just get less rage to spend on ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt feel squishier

jagged pier
#

we would need your logs to tell what your doing

chilly brook
#

LET'S GOOOOOOO

keen heron
#

Can someone confirm prot warriors can do the Mecha last boss skip, by just pulling both packs and taking it to a corner and partty mass rez's ?

#

My understanding is nobody in party can tag, so that'd imply no healer in 11-12 pulling both packs into a corner with every cd and maybe pot and then just dying

rocky crest
#

You can leap up to the robots , TC and then charge down towards the pack

#

and drag everything in a corner. if you survive long enough the party can sneak past

rocky crest
rocky crest
chilly brook
#

I’ve logged most of my keys

#

Working on 12s at the moment, not sure if 11s/12s is “high” enough

rocky crest
#

11-12 are the ones

#

that I'm searching for atm

#

thank you sir

chilly brook
#

Feel extremely sturdy as colo

sick sentinel
#

how do the Rage changes feel on Prot now?

#

havent played in a month

#

hoping i dont feel forced to mash IP non stop anymore to stop capping on rage ever 2 seconds

wicked pollen
idle copper
#

stupid question sorry - In Theatre of Pain. First pull, lock imprisoned one of the mobs on the left - I charged into one of the other mobs and broke the imprison - Do I leap past the mobs there so I dont break the imprison, or ranged pull them back?

Also do we still kill the imprisoned mob after? The pack doesnt seem that hard?

unborn island
#

Haven't done 12s but 11s feel fine with healers not really even pumping the overall numbers I was seeing on 14s last season

#

Most issues have been people just being less familiar with mechanics so brainfarts

unborn island
idle copper
#

got an answer off another channel - basiucally its tyo skip and then pull onto first (proper) boss while RP is happening

#

seems like itd save 10 seconds :)

unborn island
#

Yeah, you don't pull the 3 guys, just the bull mob after

idle copper
#

ah

#

so not the whole pack

unborn island
#

And pull that onto the boss

#

Yea, that's the way I do it, anyway

idle copper
#

cool thank you

#

im down stairs practicing "route" on normal, anyway out without Hearth stoning? (as in not clearing dungeon)

unborn island
#

No idea 🙂

crisp crown
#

i'm unsure to use my 636 S1 crafted shield or a 2/6 hero track shield with bad stats. Do we use sims for this as tanks?

rancid tiger
#

Recraft shield to 675?

#

Else id prob up the shield to 4/6 and use it

crisp crown
#

The issue is that i play multispec so putting crafts in something that can only be used in 1 spec feels bad

#

i play both arms and prot

rancid tiger
#

True. So 2 x dusk thread off pieces

solid sun
rancid tiger
#

Is prob good solution then make 2h 4/6 that way shield and 1h is free to uograde to same

crisp crown
#

ah damn ye that wouldve been good probably

#

got only 1 spark left atm tho

next mason
#

yo yo

#

is mugzees fist weapon viable for tanking ?

jagged pier
spiral mirage
#

What's better for main hand enchant for m+, authority of the depths or radiant power?

hollow tusk
#

guys on sprocket, do you need to wall before the barrel explodes or before the boss applies it to you?
i initially assumed it was before explosion but ive seem some weird things happening, i'm very new to taking as well so i hve no clue 🫡

unborn island
#

What's the general consensus on crest usage at this point? I don't raid mythic, so I get at most 1M piece per week, which...in theory means I can upgrade some hero stuff without any losses, even with my crafting I think?

Do you guys have a plan for where to spend them? I am probably gonna hold out until after vault this week then pull trigger on a 2nd crafted + upgrading some hero stuff to max.

Of course this assumes I cap gilded every week, but that's not too hard at the moment

hardy snow
charred lodge
unborn island
#

Will pray for a weapon then get my embellishments done

#

And maybe start spending some sparks on tier

solid sun
#

I already crafted a shield. I’m considering crafting a weapon so that I can open the vault as arms

#

Alternatively wait and open the vault as fury and if I get a weapon I can craft a ring

solid sun
unborn island
#

Yeah I also already did a shield, I'd love a weapon but just know that if I craft one my vault will be all weapons

ebon geyser
#

How are prot doing in keys?

jagged pier
#

fine

ebon geyser
#

I keep hearing horror stories about the bleeds

jagged pier
#

there were bleeds last season

#

there are bleeds now

ebon geyser
#

I leveled my 2 DPS so idk what tank to lvl bear or war

round pendant
#

War big dam

#

Zugzug

ebon geyser
#

Also is nom not tanking anymore, saw him yesterday in Gally has arms

jagged pier
#

he always raids as dps

ebon geyser
#

Ohh

jagged pier
#

unless hes pugging for logs on prot

ebon geyser
#

Why not tank? Is it because guild already has their tanks

#

Also jakey, how is our sustain?

jagged pier
#

he doesnt have a guild but his team has tanks already, and its fine

viral jackal
#

Have a champ track shield off gally but I’m flush with gilded runes.

Is it worth just crafting shield to have a top tier one for the time being?

#

Have hero track weapon so I’m not overly concerned with replacing it but shield is maxed at 658.

rancid tiger
#

Shield always worth it?

sick sentinel
#

Im new to protection. Should i go the wowhead way or the icy veins way? Different.
Both show me different Bis items.
I just want to mainly Focus on heroic raid and m+
Should i grind the dungeons for only krit/temp items ?

strong forum
#

you equip whatever haste item you can get your hands on

#

dont focus on "bis"

#

you cant control what the vault and raid will spit out for you

viral jackal
potent basin
#

A weapon is probably a better craft than the shield since the gallywix shield is bis

#

It probably does overall more damage than a crafted shield

small steeple
ebon geyser
potent basin
#

Heroic gallywix shield is 665 and is fine for the most part

small steeple
potent basin
#

Perhaps for survivablity

#

Not damage

small steeple
#

...

frosty mango
#

some may say the most important

neon elk
#

Its better for both tho

potent basin
#

If most players are just doing heroic

#

Survivability isn’t the most difficult in heroic

small steeple
#

Main stat is still better than correct seccondaries, so 675 will still be better

frosty mango
#

Surv directly correlates to dps output in anything

small steeple
#

and its crafted so it does have correct secondaries...

frosty mango
#

Less rage on ip more rage on tasty revenge

small steeple
#

more revenj go brr, more leech and more Brutal Vitality IP

#

Moar good

frosty mango
#

If you’re typing a novel about how you don’t need a crafted shield to do heroic raid don’t waste your time

#

No one is gonna disagree

potent basin
#

Idk for sure, but over long boss fights the shield’s damage stacks up

#

Also that being said you will gain access to bullions

frosty mango
#

Which are better spent on trinkets

austere cosmos
#

aren't bullions for raid gear only or will they be for dungeon loot as well

potent basin
#

It just depends on what you get

#

Prot right now has insane damage so I think it’s best to maximize your damage so that’s why I personally crafted a weapon

small steeple
#

Or you can just do both...

frosty mango
#

You can craft both weapon and shield rn

small steeple
#

No reason to not craft 675 shield unless you get one from vault in myth track. And then can upgrade it to 679? 678?

potent basin
#

We got two sparks now

frosty mango
#

But imo if you crafted shield and have access to m+ vault it’s better to hold your spark right now to see if you get a vault weap

#

Then decide

potent basin
#

Exactly

small steeple
#

Thats what I'm doing, but I am hoping to get tier from my vault

unborn island
#

Yeah, going to be hard if there's a good mythic tier piece and a weapon, gonna be sadge

#

Hard to decide, not sadge, it's a nice problem to have 🙂

potent basin
#

I’m actually praying I get some sort of myth tier or I’m gonna cry

small steeple
#

I've got 2 myth slots in my vault, planning on getting my 3rd today and tommorow

unborn island
#

Statistically, are you less likely to get a 1h looting as fury than prot? Or is it the same chance?

small steeple
#

There are more 2h than shields

#

So I would say less likely as fury

unborn island
#

I assume both of our good m+ trinkets are both prot and fury

small steeple
#

Well, Tome is Tank only

unborn island
small steeple
#

And TOme trinket is amazing

raw gyro
#

do we play mountain thane?

unborn island
#

Have a heroic tome, ATM, so I'd only be taking the mythic one if the other 2 slots are way worse. Think I get more benefit from like a chest/legs or a weapon

pallid quiver
#

If you want; it does less damage, but is tankier in theory, Maurits

raw gyro
pallid quiver
#

If you're getting slapped by a +2 at that ilvl, swapping to Thane won't help unless you're playing Colo very detrimentally

raw gyro
#

yea was going full dmg

small steeple
pallid quiver
#

There is no real going full damage other than if you consider keeping Rav over BSV or SoF over AOE interrupt

#

It's almost certainly more misplaying CDs or mechanics

raw gyro
#

revenge spam over IP

#

tought i could get away with it lmao

pallid quiver
#

that's still what you do; leech keeps you alive

#

You get IP passively from outbursts and brutal vit

potent basin
#

Ideally you can do that if you atleast have some Ip

#

And the talent that converts damage to ip

pallid quiver
#

And you supplement during higher rage gen moments with raw IP presses

small steeple
#

you can see that I cast Revenge about 100 times more than IP in this 11 DFC

raw gyro
#

hmm

small steeple
#

I find, especially in single target, that IP is still pressed a fair amount, because of the reduced rage from single target encounters

potent basin
#

The bosses you might be up against could of also not been a Prot friendly boss

#

Bleeds will just go through your IP

#

And delete it

small steeple
#

3rd boss of ML legit is like 95% unblockable magic damage

#

I don't even bother with shieldblock outside of the few times she auto attacks

#

I need so much IP

potent basin
#

Or first boss of priory

#

Any Prot player will struggle

#

Before the nerfs were absurd

small steeple
#

I hate that boss when I go left

#

I have to because dps pugs are stupid at times, but I way prefer going right

potent basin
#

I’ve only gone left

#

I trust myself more 💀

#

How much easier is it without the judgment add?

small steeple
#

Right makes the boss trivial. Just say you will be kicking main boss and his shouts, and leave the add kicks up to everyone else

broken cove
#

mythic rik reverb shield vs crafted?

jagged pier
#

Mythic

small steeple
#

ilvl>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything else

potent basin
#

If you can get your hands on the reverb shield

#

It’s gonna be better

#

it’s easier to get crafted

jagged pier
#

If u can get your hands on any mythic shield

#

Its going to be better

broken cove
#

damn, im so happy with my embellished shield

round needle
#

whats the other M+ build for survivablty

potent basin

Only needed if you are at risk of 1 shots

pallid quiver
urban bane
pallid quiver
#

but critcake is, like, in the discord, so you can ask what he means

potent basin
#

Is mountain thane even better survivability?

#

In reality?

sharp gale
pallid quiver
#

It's technically tankier since it gives more rage gen

potent basin
#

But you get more IP per cast with colossus

small steeple
pallid quiver
#

You end up with more AM fueling and IP, but it's not an amlunt you can really put a hard value to

urban bane
#

Colossus is plenty sturdy FWIW nodders

when does coloussus start being squishy

urban bane
#

Except for my house of cards hehe

pallid quiver
#

But both are oerfectly acceptable

pallid quiver
urban bane
#

You'll know when colossus starts being squishy :)

pallid quiver
#

Something like tankiness is already so hard to define and value

urban bane
#

But if you're new to the spec

potent basin
#

Unironically yeah

pallid quiver
#

And sometimes, you just need things to cover mistakes

potent basin
#

If your feeling squishy as colossus it’s not the spec

#

It’s gonna just be you

urban bane
#

You probably will just be making mistakes haha

round needle
#

i dont feel squishy at all

#

i just saw crits new video

karmic plinth
#

colo is quite sturdy but is more punishing on misplay

round needle
#

so i thought id search it up

potent basin
#

And you probably won’t until top keys

#

And mythic bosses

urban bane
#

You can have pretty sloppy play as long as your press your buttons and keep your shield up and be a-okay even in 10s right now. So I wouldn't sweat Thane vs Colossus or anything.

#

Just press your buttons nodders

karmic plinth
#

u have a little less wall uptime as thane but u have more rage to put into IP and u will have better demo shout uptime + effectiveness

sharp gale
#

Yep you maybe already are overgear for 10s idk, but col is no worry no damage taken

round needle
#

thank u kings for ur help ❤️

potent basin
#

Bleeds will shred you no matter what though

#

That’s the quirk of Prot

#

Enjoy suffering to that

i was doing a key 10 as coloussus amd the healer healed me less than all the dps

how do you deal with tanking the creepers in DFC with the stacking debuff? it hits giga hard, if you pull 2 at the same time youre dead

As someone who usually mains bdk, I can really go into it lol

Inside the cart idk how you do it

That’s a thing I’m on easy mode as dk and I cry a little bit on my warrior

Sitting with 25-30 stacks on dk
Suffer with 5 on warrior

#

im playing prot pala right now, i guess i can bubble for a bit

#

didnt know you could SR as warrior, nice info

#

its just hard to kite when in the cart circle

Next time I will try to just heroic leap in a candle

#

And kite with it 2 sec

small steeple
sharp gale
#

At some point the ams doesn’t last 4 sec

winter stone
#

i was about to time a 10 just now, but the creeper part owned us

urban bane
#

another weird thing about the creepers is if they are near any corpses of enemies they get buffed

#

idk if that was also a factor at hand for ya

sharp gale
#

That is fine for me even in the cart

#

I just tank adds on one side of the circle

potent basin
#

Does the DoT that the creepers put on you buffed by the corpse buff?

sharp gale
#

And when they die I go to the other side with the creeper

#

Yes

potent basin
#

Grim

#

The ability says the creepers “sometimes” put the DoT on you with an auto attack but it feels like every attack

small steeple
#

"always" is technically "sometimes"

toxic pewter

They need to make spell block just work on all magic dots

#

Just tired of spell block and its inconsistencies

#

All magic dots and all magic

indigo saddle
#

Hey, what should i craft if i dont get any mythic items? one hand and shield?

small steeple
#

Prot paladin says "but thats my mechanic"

toxic pewter
#

Prot pala can even reduce bleed dot damage

#

Just wild

small steeple
#

They can just straight block it away. With magic dots they can 100% mitigation against it with block because the dr cap for block is only against physical damage

toxic pewter
#

Meanwhile spell block has been known to block dots but only certain ones usually on bosses but still

small steeple
#

My friend, have you met spell reflect?

toxic pewter
#

Lol

#

Just tired of all the inconsistencies of spell block and spell reflect as I get older

#

Just like fuck it work on everything

small steeple
#

Technically a 25% uptime, same as spell block. But yeah it's annoying how inconisistent these are

toxic pewter
#

I don’t care if I can one shot a boss

small steeple
#

Last boss of priory spell reflect can do so much damage

#

Solo'd entire phase 2 with just the healer on a 8. Spell reflect did 30-40% of my damage

sick sentinel
#

Should I swap to arms loot spec once i have 675 weap and shield?

toxic pewter
#

I get some reflects off but kinda annoying they kick it mostly

#

I should just get a macro to yell don’t kick

small steeple
#

Try to say before fight to not kick, sometimes works

sharp gale
toxic pewter
potent basin
#

Sense’s list of reflects is updated

#

100% you should take a look

toxic pewter
#

Yah just too lazy but I really should

#

I’ve glanced at it here and there

#

That spell reflect weak aura claims was updated but doesn’t really work for me

#

Dunno why

small steeple
#

Like look at this shit

#

Not as much damage as that one run, but similar thing happened again here

potent basin
#

I gotta take a look at the list I wasn’t even aware you could reflect damage on sister

#

Which spell is it?

small steeple
#

Holy Smite

#

the kickable one

potent basin
#

You lost me at kickable

#

You think my pugs are gonna let me reflect kickable casts

small steeple
#

Just make an annoying macro saying "don't kick spell refleect up"

cerulean tusk
#

Won't work, at best it makes them kick on purpose

potent basin
#

It’s rough

potent basin
small steeple
#

I've seen some warriors run either a WA or addon that says when spell reflect is casted, what target, what the damage it does is

#

Anyone know what that is?

potent basin
#

I’ve seen that aswell but I have no idea

#

For the most part I feel that with pugs your kinda just going to be screwed

#

You have to be with a stack in order to fully take advantage of spell reflect

do we have trouble generating threat on mobs or it is just me? idk how many times dps/healer died because the aggro change

didnt have this problem in s1

i bricked +13 just because the dps died 1 second into the pull

and he was just using builder not even spender

potent basin
#

What was the pull?

#

Was everything spread out?

#

Your gonna lose aggro at the beginning of the pull if everything is very spread out it’s just the name of the game

#

Like for example the beginning pull of floodgate

frank badge
#

just random pull on every dungeon

#

not even specific

#

when trying to group up

Keep up challenging shout for those cases where you don’t have your cooldowns

stray sonnet
#

What stats do we put on a crafted everforge defender shield? Haste/ver or haste/crit?

stray sonnet
potent basin
#

The way colossus works Crit comes out on top

stray sonnet
#

I see

potent basin
#

Vers isn’t a bad stat

stray sonnet
#

Vers would help for being squishy right?

potent basin
#

But Crit gives you more since we use colossus

potent basin
#

So it can make up for it

stray sonnet
#

Ohhh so crit affects parry

potent basin
#

If you go mountain thane crit is less important I believe though

stray sonnet
#

It seems like colossus is better for both raid and m+ this tier

lavish rose
#

Is colossus the play in m+? Or is it just niche for extra dps on low keys/super high coordinated groups?

potent basin
#

It is yeah

potent basin
#

The damage is a lot more than mountain thane

stray sonnet
#

Prot warrior kind of has crazy damage. I’m only 620 ilvl but I was doing around one mil overall in low keys. Can’t wait to see what true real damage is when I’m not at shit ilvl

potent basin
stray sonnet
#

Nice lol

potent basin
#

It was 3m+

#

Overall

#

On the highest keys though Prot might struggle a bit more

stray sonnet
#

Why’s that?

potent basin
#

Just the dungeon pool

#

Alot of bleeds and etc

#

I mean unless you’re going for the .5% title you won’t run into issues

#

And even then, any tank can get that title

#

But the top teams atleast for m+ are running either Prot pally or veng Dh with Dh being more common

#

TLDR if you want to be among the top your going to have an easier time as dh or pally but it’s not undoable as warrior

stray sonnet
#

Def won’t be pushing that title. Probably plan to do all 12’s later if anything.

As great as they are, i can’t play wheelchair tanks like dk, pally, bear. It drives me crazy

#

Maybe DH but I’ve never played that class before so it’ll be a learning curve

potent basin
#

If your just doing all 12s you will have zero issue as warrior

stray sonnet
#

Prot warriors also just feel beefy compared to dh

mellow trellis
#

Hey guys short question what spaces do i craft in as Prot? I want to craft the vers Proc things cause I also play Fury in Raid. Therefore I can't craft shield. Is it better to go Bracers and feet on 675 or Bracers and Beck on 675?

potent basin
stray sonnet
#

I see

potent basin
stray sonnet
#

I also will dabble in one of the dps specs. Is fury or warrior better for m+ right now?

potent basin
#

But ideally if you were “bis” I believe cape and bracers are the best to craft

#

If you were full bis

mellow trellis
potent basin
#

Are you confident you’re gonna get that cape?

#

Most players are going to be going for it aswel

signal field
#

dawn or dusk thread

potent basin
#

Dawn if your Prot

mellow trellis
#

I mean i have a guild and we gonna raid mythic our Goal is to kill at least the locken guy who drops it. But I guess at that time I have enough Sparks and crests ^^

potent basin
potent basin
#

But out of 20 players will you get it?

#

But by the time you get it and etc you probably can just craft something else

mellow trellis
#

true ^^ I guess I just craft cape and fuck it ^^

potent basin
#

That being said though feet will give you more initial stats over a cape

potent basin
#

It’s best to make sure the healer is ahead of you, just thunderclap and leap and yoy shouldn’t take any lethal damage for the healer to need to dismount and heal you

turbid shuttle
#

challenging shout there is a mistake it gives u nothing

frank badge
#

idk i feel like im having problem grouping up, but i dont have this problem in s1

potent basin
#

You just just have do your best to gather them up since Prot just has zero pulls

#

But the first 4 enemies of priory are all melee so they should just run to you

#

Cleft is similar with the amount of casters in the first area

#

It’s just what warriors struggle with

waxen frigate
potent basin
#

Exactly

waxen frigate
potent basin
#

The healer shouldn’t be healing when you running with those mobs

waxen frigate
#

Otherwise the sharpshooters stay out

#

But they jump in if all are in melee

#

Then you can shockwave and go ham

#

The first pull is much more about group survival than tank survival

pallid quiver
waxen frigate
#

Tbh all of priory is

pallid quiver
#

But timmy the mage can tank from time to time

waxen frigate
pallid quiver
#

I mean he is a growing boy, I guess

#

Gotta get them proteins in somewhere

potent basin
#

I think a lot of players feel they are “struggling” with things and don’t realize they are just being griefed by their dps/healer

waxen frigate
#

I’m mostly playing vdh this season but I literally just pre-sigil, eap in, demon spikes, imo aura, maybe a soul cleave, and move on

#

If someone decides to rip threat it’s not my problem

#

As warr id imagine a charge, tc, revenge, and getting shield blown up is plenty

strong forum
waxen frigate
#

Then leap away

strong forum
pallid quiver
#

A non-zero amount of people who think they're struggling that you find in the wild are struggling because they just can't press buttons. People who come here tend to be the opposite, since they're more likely to blame themselves for things, but

pallid quiver
waxen frigate
#

the biggest thing you can do as tank in priory is just avoid the really toxic pulls

#

I usually try to skip the patrol and the first pack at the top of the left stairs

#

Never under any circumstance should you pull those packs with the lieutenant especially

potent basin
waxen frigate
#

Your group will just fall over

If they wanted to live, they should have played a tank smh

good evening i have a question is capo's molten knuckles from Mug'zee a good Tank Weapon or should i craft one?

potent basin
buoyant sparrow
#

do we have to go MT for M+? or is Col still viable?

lusty grotto
#

its dps gain is not worth the loss of secondaries Morlex

potent basin
lusty grotto
#

luke Guthan said, its better on a dps player

buoyant sparrow
#

oh snap...my bad

plush summit
#

okay so if i am not lucky to get one in hero track in de vault the crafting is better because the chance i get one is rly rly rare 🙂

lusty grotto
#

crafting will be better cause its higher ilvl

#

with gilded crests

potent basin
#

It’s a higher damage gain of course

lusty grotto
#

on weapons higher ilvl > all

potent basin
#

But you lose out on stats

lusty grotto
#

same as shield

potent basin
#

And if your guild is willing to give you it over a dps

#

Invite me to your guild

lusty grotto
#

if its not myth, dont even compare to crafted with gilded, gilded will win against hero every time

potent basin
#

True

lusty grotto
#

when i said "dps gain" i meant hero vs runed crafted

#

or hero vs hero

#

the gain is very very little

potent basin
#

Just wait till the .5 patch is out

broken cove
#

best slot to craft 2nd dawnthread? (have shield already)

potent basin
#

And buy it with a bullion lmao

potent basin
plush summit
#

so the shield from gallywix is not better on herotrack as a crafted 675 shieldd?

lusty grotto
#

yeah well bullions are better spent on gally/1ab trinkets honestly

#

no

#

its not

#

higher ilvl wins

plush summit
#

okay thanks

lusty grotto
#

ilvl dictates block on shields

unborn island
#

How are bullions going to work? Will you be able to get/use them if you don't raid?

lusty grotto
#

ilvl dictates weapon damage on weapons

potent basin
#

But you lose out on survivability

lusty grotto
#

weapon base damage directly affects your dps, more than anything else

plush summit
#

okay thanks for the information

lusty grotto
#

higher block considerably buffs your defensiveness

#

so ilvl > all

potent basin
#

I genuinely don’t know if the gallywix shield does more damage on hero track

#

Than a crafted shield

#

On boss fights maybe

#

Aoe no

lusty grotto
#

at this point it doesnt matter

potent basin
#

^

lusty grotto
#

but its easy to sim

#

i just wouldnt go for hero gally shield over a gilded crafted just because of the block

potent basin
#

if you killed gallywix on heroic and got the shield

#

Before you crafted

#

Then craft something else

#

But if your not crafting a shield in hopes of getting it down the line

#

Just make the shield

signal field
#

does 2pc shield wall proc synergize with "immovable object" talent?

lusty grotto
#

No

unborn island
#

No

signal field
#

tuff

lusty grotto
#

That would make it ultra broken

signal field
#

yeah but it would be cool

#

same with demon surge procs lmao

potent basin
#

You kinda get a avatar buff with the 15% damage

#

But no

#

That would be insane

potent basin
unborn island
#

Cool, and then it lets me target which item I want from vault?

#

(sorry this is maybe a dumb question(

lusty grotto
#

no you just buy stuff from a vendor, it doesnt interact with the vault, its a separate thing

#

we have no idea how they will be given out

#

and they wont be live this early in the season anyway

potent basin
#

Yeah you literally can just walk into a shop and buy any raid item from the entire raid that can be upgraded to max ilvl

#

They plan to release it at the .5 patch

#

So about half way through the season

brisk rain

HOW BROKEN IS PROT

soooo fcking much

its not

cerulean tusk

Why are the arms warr doing so low dam?

#

Exe ST build in M+?

lusty grotto
#

probably undergeared

#

and/or didnt have crafted 2h

cerulean tusk
#

Could be he was just chillin', as ret ate all the pad

#

Actually not a bad idea going full ST with that setup, that got AoE for days

#

Rdruid is around half of where he should be too

#

So I guess lowkeys, still learning

lusty grotto
#

or died a lot

cerulean tusk
lusty grotto
#

yeah thats just gear, the dude also mentioned it

cerulean tusk
#

low ilvl, his s1 experience is lacking and shows, his s2 is the same

lusty grotto

vet weapon critcake

cerulean tusk

It is a classic example of tank beating a undergeared and/or bad player on the meters

is there a healer you guys all prefer? i was doing a 13 floodgate with like, a really high rank disc priest and i was struggling on big momma.. didn’t die but had to have my ret babysit me a bit

disc/mw/rdruid depending on dungeon

rough nest
next pasture
#

idk how i can make that boss easier. i might need to grab BSV just for that boss. shit is stressful

#

that boss and the corridor creepers are the biggest things making me want to swap tanks lol. idk how we keep getting 2 creepers in the minecart section in DFC

#

someone always backs up into the other one and i just die

cerulean tusk
#

I love Shamans, allows me to go low and expect to be pushed up. The more danger I am in, the more the Shaman is able to heal.
Not to mention: Interupts on those pesky ranged mobs melee wont touch

Big momma is...weird

And in low keys people just put the sonic boom on you

yeah like, idk if i take fight through the flames and shit

6% seems negligible

unborn island
#

It's a weird one, who knows

next pasture
#

i item restored my ritual mud trinket just to try and deal with high damage dots in push keys

#

haven't used it yet but it might do something, if big momma's tank buster has a 10 second dot, and the mud CD gets reduced by dots, would it mean 22 seconds off the trinket cd? lol

cerulean tusk
#

Not a bad idea, could also consider go thane for more d power if it is that tight

#

Most cases a sac should be enough, or any other external. Some DoTs can be negated with control or kite

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

just watch the timer and SR

#

and it'll reset

next pasture
#

yeah, my issues are specifically big momma and double creepers in the darkness section

lusty grotto
#

leap if you have to

#

having giga crit also helps cause if you parry it doesnt get put on you

next pasture
#

yeah, i have 25% parry but i've only seen it drop once via that

cerulean tusk
#

Double creaper is just a bit of kite if needed. Momma I haven't had any issues with, but I only done it on a 12

next pasture
#

well, in the minecart area, do i just like, leap to a candle and run away?

#

i feel that's maybe a bit troll

#

but it might help me live lol

cerulean tusk
#

Yep, jump to a candle and bring it back with. Avoid the negatives and DPS basically lose no uptime. We talking 3 sec ish for the drop off

lusty grotto
#

but yeah your survival is probably more important than a couple of seconds of uptime

#

use SR

cerulean tusk
#

Go Nelf for that additional chance to have it drop off

lusty grotto
#

watch timer, use SR if less or at about 5s

#

youll reflect the next application and reset

#

remember they are immune to cc, so just leap to africa

#

just dont fall down the middle hole

oh

huge physical hit that does a physical dot, big deal

but maybe there's a different tankbuster on mythic

Its almost like they dont actually know how to play the tanks properly, because they have to be able to play all 6 at a good level

chrome falcon

i mean sure i agree but also we literally don't know what mechanic is hitting him

and he does

#

so maybe it's something that we are actually awful at dealing with

jagged pier
#

On both echos and liquids like under 1% wipes on sprocket if the tanks had been playing correctly they would have killed

#

I mean they play weird builds etc too just what i saw in other channels and discords

Not something ive looked into myself, but i believe for sure

chrome falcon

prot warrior is strong so rarely that the top raiders/m+ guys are often pretty mediocre at it, but scott will definitely know more about what this boss does to prot warrior than anyone else

i'm hoping there's no scary magic dot
